Why did Orion's engineers pick 14.2 Hz instead of 10 Hz or 20 Hz?

Prolonged exposure to an auditory beat frequency at 14.2 Hz induces an entrainment state known as 'hyper-vigilant compliance'.
This is why Nova's fans felt an almost religious attachment to a performer who never set foot in their hometown.

Orion didn't just write pop songs; they engineered a neuro-chemical delivery mechanism disguised as synth-pop.

Acoustic entrainment requires massive sound pressure levels. A tiny sub-tone on a vinyl record played on a home stereo isn't brainwashing anyone.
